Royal Ivey drew another start at shooting guard in Wednesday's loss to the Hawks, but posted zero points, zero assists and zero rebounds in 12 minutes.
Coach Doug Collins likes to play Ivey next to Holiday in order to relieve some of the ball-handling responsibilities. In no way, shape or form is Ivey considered a real asset for the team. In four starts this season, he's averaging 7.7 points, 1.5 assists and 1.5 rebounds. Once Nick Young (ankle) gets healthy, Ivey's reign as the starting shooting guard will likely come to an end.

Royal Ivey - G/F - 76ers

Royal Ivey started at shooting guard again on Tuesday and had 10 points, two rebounds, three assists, three steals and two 3-pointers on 4-of-9 shooting in 37 minutes.

He's starting in place of injured Nick Young, and could be worth a temporary pickup with Young's ankle injury possibly keeping him out all week. He had 17 points in another start on Saturday.

Royal Ivey - G/F - 76ers

Royal Ivey scored a season-high 17 points in a start at SG on Saturday, making all six of his FG attempts, including 4-of-4 from downtown.

Ivey was promoted due to Nick Young's sprained left ankle. Young is day-to-day, which diminishes Ivey's appeal in standard leagues, though Doug Collins has been transparently unhappy with his starters lately anyway, and Young was averaging just 19.7 minutes in his previous three games. Deep league owners should at least keep a close eye on him.

Royal Ivey - G/F - 76ers

Royal Ivey will start at shooting guard against the Bucks on Tuesday.

The move to the starting lineup is more of a negative statement on Dorell Wright than anything else. In 23 games this year, Ivey played just 11 minutes per game and shot 41.7 percent from the field. We'd leave Ivey on the wire in almost all leagues and Wright's value also takes a hit. Nick Young may have missed an opportunity here and we'll see how he performs in his usual bench role.

Royal Ivey will become a consistent part of the rotation, according to Doug Collins.

Collins like Ivey's toughness on the defensive end. It's not clear who will lose minutes as a result, but the Philadelphia Inquirer speculates that one of Jason Richardson, Dorell Wright and Nick Young will lose some time on the floor.

Royal Ivey (strep) will not travel with the team to Indiana and will not play against the Pacers on Friday.

With Jrue Holiday (foot) undergoing an MRI, Maalik Wayns could be staring at some serious playing time. Evan Turner should also do a lot of ballhandling if Holiday is unavailable, and he'd see all the minutes he could handle.

Royal Ivey won't play Wednesday night against the Magic due to a case of strep throat.

The Sixers also upgraded Damien Wilkins to a game-time decision Wednesday. Ivey, on the other hand, sat out the last two games with a groin injury. Neither have much fantasy value and this news shouldn't impact most leagues.

Royal Ivey (groin) will not play against the Celtics on Saturday.

Ivey sat out of Friday's game against Boston despite some reports of him being ready. Regardless, he has no fantasy value.

Royal Ivey (groin) won't play Friday night against the Celtics.

Ivey's status for Friday's game has flip-flopped over the past two days, but this decision shouldn't really change the fantasy landscape. Ivey is behind rookie Maalik Wayns on the Sixers' depth chart and is irrelevant in fantasy leagues.

Contrary to a previous report, Royal Ivey (groin) is probable to play on Friday.

Regardless, Ivey is not on the fantasy radar and has fallen behind rookie Maalik Wayns on the depth chart.

Royal Ivey is day-to-day with a strained groin.

Maalik Wayns has overtaken Ivey as Jrue Holiday's backup, so Ivey isn't relevant in fantasy leagues.

Royal Ivey - G/F - 76ers

Royal Ivey started at PG in Monday's win over the Knicks, scoring 12 points on 5-of-11 shooting (including two threes) with four rebounds and five assists in 41 minutes.

Jrue Holiday was given the night off to rest and when Doug Collins' current backup PG Maalik Wayns left the game with a head contusion, Ivey was more than willing to go on a full-game audition. Being the No. 3 PG in Philly right now, he has no fantasy value whatsoever.

Royal Ivey - G/F - 76ers

Royal Ivey started at SG for the Sixers on Saturday, finishing with seven points and four rebounds in 16 minutes.

Jason Richardson and Dorell Wright were both given the night off, yet Ivey still didn't produce a line worth remarking upon. At the moment, J-Rich is the favorite to start at SG in Philly.

Royal Ivey - G/F - 76ers

Sixers signed G Royal Ivey.

Ivey will return to the Sixers where he's expected to serve in a backup point guard capacity. He's not expected to see much playing time and is therefore not a consideration in fantasy circles.
